see 2:33

seems like we are holding firm on Mateo. Wonder if that triggers a move for Capps.

Cubs want Alex Woods!!! What is going on?

And that's the problem the Sox hype machine was running it usual course. In particularly out of Red Sox U, er, ESPN. Plenty of us were on here right before the season talking about how bad the rotation had potential to be, but the talking heads refused to believe it and ignored the last place finish last year. It's typical.

#Yankees were willing to put Mateo in offer for Kimbrel and never hear back from #padres so belief is they have deal elsewhere

and be counted on as favorites, and the teams that through a measure of wisdom and luck put together a decent roster will blow past them and all the morons will race to backtrack.

And how's that working out?

I keep hearing that they're trying to sucker the Padres/Cubs into taking Panda off their hands. With their luck, I'm sure they'll pull it off and not have to pay another cent to the fat ass. Just like they suckered the Dodgers into saving them

Cespedes to the Mets for Wheeler.

Thank you, San Diego. Saving the Yankees from themselves.

I'm not seeing that anywhere. Where'd you see it?

RPs statement as him saying to the Mets to make the trade not that it happened.

False Phony Rosenthal account

if SD wants a SS. They have Baez and Castro to trade.

I think we see a flurry of moves at 4 PM. Too many teams need to or should be making a move.

Agreed. They need Ross/Cashner and Kimbrel. They also have some young outfielders to pad the deal.

He will be "that" guy forever.

now confirmed.

.

do nothing at the deadline with the Blue Jays going completely nuts. That takes some serious faith in your horses.

Unless something changes in 5 minutes, #Yankees standing pat. Ackley will be their lone add.

...

are making a mistake by not going for it and getting one of the relievers after adding zero SP.

Didn't overpay for anyone.

this too close to the vest...should have made a move for something, at the least, a mid-low tier starter to cover us for the time being...

I didn't think they needed to sell the farm or anything but kind of disappointing not to get any pitching help at all, particularly when they keep running CC out there to get hammered.

and then there were the Blue Jays and Astros doing their thing.

I agree!

I'm glad they didn't make a stupid move and get rid of some top prospects. On the other hand, their pitching before Pineda went down was suspect. With him on the DL and Toronto revamping their team, the Yankees really needed to do something.

They will keep running CC out there even if we would have obtained Hamels and Price.

I have to admit, I'm slightly annoyed that they did absolutely nothing. They desperately needed to add an arm or two. This is a flawed team that had a chance to really go for it.

seeing most of the other playoff teams making moves and the Yankees add... Dustin Ackley. And knowing the team chasing them has added a couple of perennial all-stars.

Keep the kids, it's more likely than not that we make the playoffs at this point, and after that, anything can happen.

I guess all the excitement was yesterday.

Good for them. If Yankees don't make it, it's lays at Cashmans' feet. *shrug*

He's valuing Severino like an ace and we've got holes in the rotation. They hugged Severino in the Hamels and Price talks so they need to give him the responsibility, otherwise Cashman committed serious malpractice

They're paying him whether he starts or not. It's not like starting him somehow alleviates his huge cost. Why keep hurting your chances at winning ballgames by sticking with a guy who's been one of the very worst starters in baseball over the past three seasons? Just saying "It's because of his contract" doesn't make any sense.

I guess moving forward unless some post 31st waiver deals come through...

Rotation in the short term could be

1- Tanaka
2- Nova
3- Eovaldi
4- CC
5- Some combo of Mitchell, Warren, Serverino

Bullpen could get an upgrade in the form of Bailey in a few weeks too and then of course Pineda would come back in September to upgrade the pen.

Playoff rotation would essentially have to be Tanaka, Pineda, and Nova and then a ridiculous bullpen run lol.

Fucking weak sauce.

I thought Kimbrel was a stupid fucking decision anyway, limited help this year and ties a lot of money up in the bullpen with the always cost-conscious Steinbrothers ever on the brink of self-imposed austerity. How'd you like them holding the line at $220 with top FA starters this year?

You're fooling yourself if you think otherwise.

of how much you like those prospects.

a waiver wire deal.

This I agree with. It's not like he has not excelled in AAA. Let's see what we have here with him.

It's that the one move they made was for a crap player like Ackley.

But he's not going to take a rotation spot.
